Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used Boschees German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing consumption, severe
coughs, Group, asthma, pneumonia, and in
fact all throat and lung diseases. No per-
son can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all druggists to
recommend it to the poor, dying con-
sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
$4,000 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was re-
ported. Such medicine as the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask
your druggist about it, Sample bottles
to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular size, "a
cents. Sold by all druggists and dealers
in the United States and Canada.

Americanlsm.

From the Missouri Republican
1t is fact not without significance that
the popular repugnance to immigration
Just now exhibiting itself in various ways,
and in different parts of the country,
makes positive exception in favor of
the two foreign countries that have fur
nished, and still furnish, US with the
largest numbers of immigrants-Ger
many and Ireland. Among the thousands
of American citizens who are beginning
to think we have had enough immigra.
tion there are few who are not willing to
yield conviction so far as to admit all
self-supporting Germans and Irish who
may still desire to come. There are sev.
eral possible explanations Of this. II
may be that the streams that set to our
shores from Germany and Ireland bring
few paupers, whose first need on arriving
is the nearset poorhouse. 1t may be that
the new feeling of opposition to immi-
grafton IS only an opposition to
the Czech and Latin elements, whose
advent has been extensively under
the contract system, with the result first
to break down the rate of wages, and, next,
to cause riots and resistance to the laws of
the land that gives them an asylum and
the means of living. Or, it may be, that
the Germans and Irish already in the
country, with their descendants, constitute
so large part of Its population, possess
SO large part of its wealth, and exert SO
large measure of authority over its
thought, as to control public opinion.
Whichever of these may be the true expla-
nation, the fact remains that while the
aversion to the classes of Poles, Hunga-
rians and Italians now coming over is in
creasing, no one thinks of excluding the
Germans and Irish-and SO they keep on
coming without let or hinderance. We
have received 5,421,OOO immigrants from
abroad. in the last fifteen years-the

New YORK, May 10.-The decision of Judge

Judge Dykman's decision Just reverses this
theory of the Stock exchange. Instead OF Delng a
private institution, he declares 1t to be puollc IN

that the quotations from the Stock exchange FUR

LINES FROM LAREDO.
A Mexican Mining Company to Erect
Smelling Works.


LAREDO, May 10.-About three weeks ago Capt
James Baxter, manager of the Guadalupe Mining
company, situated near Villaldama, Mexico, made
application TO the city council for ten acres of
ground for the purpose of erecting smelters, and
to exempt them for five years from paying NUM-
cipal tax. The application was accepted. He also
asked from the citizens bonus of $1,000, and he
promised them to commence work inside of thirty
days This week the above amount was raised,
and everything snow ready to make titles to the
ground Mr.. Baxter is expected in tomorrow
night and there is every reason to believe, that
the ground will soon be broken for the erection of
two or more forty ton smelteIs.
The erection of smelters at Laredo will give her
big boom. This company have now ore enough on
the dump to run four forty-ton smelters. The
company is at present engaged in building rail-
road from the Mexican National railroad, near
Valeldama to their mines, so that as soon as the
smeiters are ready they will be able to ship $50
tons of ore day They intend to erect ON the same
ground concentrating works. This will give EN-
Dloyment to large number of men, and assure the
expenditure of 10000 month

A Grady.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The New York Herald has nominated
Mr., Henry W. Grady, writer on the At
lanta Constitution newspaper, to be the
next yice-president of the United States,
and has hoisted flag bearing the names
of Cleveland and Grady. Every journal
ist in the south ought to feel the implied
compliment to the profession in this mo-
ton of the nations, if not the worlds,
greatest newspaper; but the question will
be most decidedly in order, "Why Mr.,
Grady?" He is young man, TOO young
to have been identified with the country
in which he lived for any considerable
period, IT may be supposed that he is a
| fairly good editorial writer; Is probably a
bit of limb of the law, vastly more in
theory than in practice. What, then,
are his qualifications for SO OK
allied an office? What is it that can give
him precedence over all other men in the
south for the second place in the national
governmentf
Mr.. Grady's nomination appears TO have
been based upon the Herald's opinion Of
him as diner, He IS doubtless benia,,
gentleman, who enjoys the VINE, the wit
and the balance of the wherewithal OF a
good dinner in good company, and with
savory provender, lined and inspired by the
swift and subtle fluid which both cheers
and inebriates, he has borne himself
right nobly.
This is something, but not enough to
guarantee the craftsmanship and fitness
for what mayhap could be the first place
in the nation. We admire Mr.. Grady, but
we are modest in our aspirations for him.
